Abstract

In recent years, the demand for external window cleaning has increased, but the process is a very dangerous manpower-dependent operation. In addition, it is difficult to clean at the desired frequency in a business that values cleanliness. Therefore, there is a need to automate this work. This paper presents the concept of a device that can be attached to a specific window and clean the window continuously. The economic feasibility of this device was analyzed. The estimated manufacturing cost of the equipment was approximately 10 million won, but the possible investment cost was at least 9.8 million won for five years of endurance and 103 million won for 10 years of endurance. Therefore, the expected savings well exceed the equipment cost, and it was evaluated as having economic feasibility. Since this study analyzed only quantitative indicators, the expected cost reduction due to a reduction in safety accidents, productivity improvement, construction time reduction, and quality improvement was not considered. Therefore, it is expected that the calculated economic feasibility will be more accurate if the cost reduction effect by the automation equipment is calculated by adding the expected values not considered in this study.

최근에 외부 유리창 청소에 대한 수요는 증가하고 있으나, 이 청소는 매우 위험한 인력 의존형 작업이다. 또한 청결을 중시하는 업장에서 원하는 빈도로 자주 청소하는 것도 용이하지 않다. 따라서 이 작업을 자동화 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 특정 유리창에 부착하여, 그 유리창을 지속적으로 청소하는 장치의 개념을 제시하고, 이 장치의 경제적 타당성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 장비의 예상 제작비 1천만 원 수준이나, 투자 가능비용은 내구연한 5년 기준으로 최소 9.8백만 원, 내구연한 10년 기준으로 최소 103백만 원 수준이었다. 따라서 장비비 보다 예상 절감액이 충분히 커서, 경제적 타당성이 있는 것으로 평가 되었다. 본 연구에서는 정량적 지표만으로 분석하여, 안전성 향상에 의한 노무자 안전 사고 감소, 생산성 향상, 공기 단축, 품질 향상 등으로 인한 원가 절감 기대 값은 고려되지 않았다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 향후 고려되지 않은 기대 값을 추가하여 자동화 장비에 의한 원가절감 효과를 산출하면 경제성이 보다 정확하게 산정될 것으로 예상된다.
